With our local terracycling service closing down, Zero Waste Bags let's me keep on doing what I can to save rubbish from landfill. And they're so easy to send back!

Large enough to hold a few months blister packs
Impressed by how much will fit in. Recycling guilt has been slightly eased.
The return process for the zero waste bag was very easy.
I thought this was alittle expensive but when it arrived it larger than i expected so is definitely better value. Will take me longer to fill the large bag. Happy my blister packs are no longer going to landfill
Still collecting to use but very much believe in the whole ethos. Is there any way the cost can be reduced to encourage more people to recycle knowing exactly what happens to their collection.
